Apple Adds Wistron as 4" iPhone 5se Assembly House

A new supply chain report this morning states that Apple has added Wistron to their supplier list for the upcoming 4" iPhone 5se that's reportedly ready to launch in March. Apple has been trying to separate its orders to different ODMs to avoid risks. In February 2015, the vendor added Compal Electronics as an iPad mini manufacturer, and Wistron to conduct iPhone touch panel lamination, and has recently outsourced a small portion of its new 4-inch iPhone orders to Wistron, looking to nurture Wistron to become an iPhone assembly house.
